Not spouses, but having multiple long-term partners is kind of wonderful. It’s work and not for everyone, but I can’t imagine going back to being monogamous. It’s such a joy to share different aspects of myself with different partners and to see them doing the same.

I’ll still respond for the sake of anyone else reading this. What I used was an analogy. I’m pointing out that you were dismissing the potential for moral objections to the use of AI. That is not the same as equating, but you probably know that.

You, like, other AI boosters are unable to fathom that folks’ moral objections are both truly held and legitimate so you feign ignorance and shut down any critique by simultaneously clutching pearls and claiming that the thing we find morally repugnant is “inevitable.” Happy to avoid future interactions. ❤

Totally. Why should anyone care about whether their clothes were made by slaves or prisoners or children? Only the tightness of the stitching and fabric is a valid measure of clothing’s quality. 🙄

I’m aware of this (that’s why I described a potential breach as Jellyfin -> LXC escape). What it does provide me is a static IP to point my domain at that I don’t have to worry about updating via whatever DDNS service and that isn’t tied to my home address. That and the wireguard tunnel gives me plausible deniability should my ISP ever decide to enforce its rules against hosting servers. 😀

I have a very cheap ($11/yr) us-based vps through racknerd I got via low end box. I’ve got 12 users but only 5 really active ones and I’ve never come close to hitting the 1tb transfer. I serve several services through that one vps (all just reverse proxy to my homelab).

I did just pick up another u.s. based vps through low end box the other day- $12/yr and unmetered Gbps. 1 CPU only, but a reverse proxy doesn’t need a lot of compute. :)

Depends on what you mean by “secure.” My personal setup is Jellyfin LXC on proxmox --> Wireguard to VPS -> Nginx reverse proxy on VPS.

This setup relies somewhat on Jellyfin’s auth, but I’m comfortable with that risk. The LXC is blocked from sending local traffic on my network by firewall rules. Yes, someone could exploit a vulnerability in Jellyfin (though looking through the CVEs I’m not overly worried about that), then escape the LXC and fuck with my server. But that’s a lot of work for no profit.

For more protection (in sense of reducing traffic that even interacts with your server), I’d recommend getting a wildcard cert for the domain so that the actual subdomain jellyfin is on is undisclosed to anyone not using your service.

Security isn’t about making everything impregnable, it’s about making attacks more trouble than they’re worth. Otherwise, we’d all live in fortified bunkers surrounded by landmines. 🙃

Navidrome. It’s lightweight and works with any subsonic app.

I honestly don’t know where this idea comes from that email is so hard. I have set up many servers for business and personal domains with very little issues with spam filtering. If you can take a few hours max to read about SPF, DMARC, DKIM, & RDNS, it’s easy to get right. There are tools like mail-in-a-box that more or less automate the whole thing.

It’s slightly more involved than setting up a WordPress install, tbh. I recommend self-hosting email as a good exerciseinn reclaiming digital autonomy. I was about to say I’m not a diehard, but then again, how would I know? 😂🙃

Maybe check your facts. NPR: Trump would have won even if everyone eligible voted

Trump won in 2024 with just under 50% of the vote, 49.7%-48.2% over Democrat Kamala Harris.

Roughly 64% of the eligible-voting population turned out in 2024, the second highest since 1904. 2020 was the highest.

But even if everyone who could vote did, Trump would have won by an even wider margin, 48%-45%, according to Pew’s validated voters survey

Whether it’s your intent or not, the narrative you’re spreading is used to dissuade folks from demanding better than the choice between a shit taco and a turd sandwhich. It affirms a shitty status quo and demands political patience in the face of a fucked up world… to the benefit of fascists and their corporate cronies.

There are ways to make that irrelevant. I use a cheap vps and just have it funnel raw traffic for the ports I need to my home server via wireguard. All my SSL certs live on my machine and the VPS can’t see any of the traffic contents. I suppose they could redirect traffic elsewhere or start serving whatever on that domain, but I would know immediately and there are some limits to my paranoia.

Maybe. I’m not a communist (or at least not a state communist), but I share with many of them the beliefs that this current system is broken beyond repair and that the solution(s) will require more than a change of who’s on our money or the precise method we use to decide whose skulls the police should bash in. If longevity and happiness for our species, no say nothing of the rest of the biosphere, are real goals, we may need a radical restructuring.

A less exploitative, more free world might involve having fewer comforts or getting used to the idea that the things other people provide us are gifts rather than entitlements. It might mean making do with less reliable electricity because no one is compelled to risk their life 24/7 to keep the lights on. Maybe it involves smaller infrastructure so that the benefit of maintaing one’s own neighborhood grid are obvious.

I think you sort of gave short shrift to the above answer because they failed to provide you with a detailed list of incentives. They did, however answer with a pretty cogent framework for what to do with dangerous work: eliminate it or make it less dangerous. If no one’s willing to do a job, that sure sounds like voting with their labor and determing that the job edesn’t need doing to me.

Below, you talk about banking our species survival on whether someone enjoys a job without reward. Enjoy? No. Find necessarry enough to spend a portion of their limited time on this earth doing it? Sure. Humans (and every other species) have survived for the vast majority of our history without industrialization and work as it is today. A more just future might look more like our past than like our present or an imagined future in some ways. Historically, we’ve organized ourselves in wildly different manners and there’s no reason we can’t do the same in the future.

Not at all… except sometimes I make murloc noises when I’m bored.
